Month: December 2007

  • Oprah

    Oprah has been on the campaign trail supporting Barack Obama.  Here is the link:  Link

    This has caused some to wonder whether Oprah will make a difference in the presidential race.

    Do you think Oprah has influence on how people vote?

                                                   

  • Homosexuality is “Aberrant” and “Sinful”

    Presidential candidate Mike Huckabee filled out a questionnaire in 1992 calling homosexuality “aberrant” and “sinful.”

    He wrote, “”I feel homosexuality is an aberrant, unnatural, and sinful lifestyle, and we now know it can pose a dangerous public health risk.”  Here is the link:  Link

    Would you feel comfortable voting for someone to be president that thought homosexuality was sinful?

                                                                    

  • Merging Car

    If you are car B, would you slow down and let him in?

                                                 

  • Ransom for a Dog

    This is Edna.  She disappeared on Halloween night.

    One day the owner, Bill Whiting, received a phone call.  The person on the phone said, “Mister, I got your dog.  You don’t believe it?  You want me to hurt it so you can hear?”  The person on the phone wanted ransom money to give the dog back.  Here is the link:  Link

    What is the most ransom you would pay to get your pet back?

                                                                                                                                

  • Facebook and Virginia Tech

    I mentioned in my photoblog that two Penn State students dressed as Virginia Tech shooting victims for a Halloween party.  Here is the link:  Link

    There was some discussion in my photoblog about whether it was a harmless joke or if it was twisted.

    Do you think what the students did was a harmless joke or tasteless?

                                                                                 

  • Keep Your Man From Straying

    I was just reading an article by David Zinczenko with the title “5 Ways to Keep Your Man From Straying.”  Here is the link:  Link

    Do you think it is partially the woman’s responsibility to stop the man from straying?

                                                                                     

  • Omaha Mall Shooting

    One criticism of the media is that they make instant celebrities out of these shooters like the guy who shot eight people at the Omaha mall.

    Omaha Mall Shooting

    In fact, the shooter indicated in his suicide note that he expected this to make him famous.  It is reported that he said, “Now I’ll be famous.”

    I just read an article where the author indicated the news media should not release the names or photos of the shooters.  Here is the link:  Link

    If you think about it, the press doesn’t release the names of rape victims. 

    Do you think the press should avoid releasing the name and photo of a shooter?

                                                                                                                

  • Subscribing Etiquette

    I noticed one of my xanga friends had thanked someone for subscribing to her.  She dropped by the person’s site and said, “Thanks for subscribing.”

    I have never once thanked anyone for subscribing.

    Do you thank people for subscribing to you?

    I received this math puzzle from here:  Link
